Do you succeed in bringing about god's kingdom on earth?
Consider it like this: The Muslims believe that there will be peace when when there are no non-believers.
Are they wrong? Rather, if they succeed, were they right?
God's will is only revealed retroactively.
When you embark on a quest in the name of god, whether or not you were righteous hinges on whether or not your actions bring about the world condition your god desires.
To put it another way... God is always on the side of the victors. Or as they put it in the film: "His god... is god."
I've seen enough to know that the atheists' pure reason, and the environmentalists' gaia are false. But as to which branch of the God of Abraham is true (if any)... that is still an open question.
